This article is from the Threads Programming FAQ, by Bryan O'Sullivan bos@serpentine.com with numerous contributions by others.
Some headers in this FAQ are preceded by words in parentheses, such as
"(POSIX)". This indicates that the sections in question are specific
to a particular threads family, or to the implementation provided by a
specific vendor.
Wherever it may not otherwise be obvious that a particular section
refers only to some families or implementations, you will find one or
more of the following key words to help you.
